"Mitori (Second Edition, Signed)" is a photo book by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. Influenced by his father, a clog craftsman and amateur photographer, he began taking photographs, and after graduating from the Department of Photographic Printing Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University, he joined Dentsu. While taking advertising photos while employed there, he also used the company's equipment to explore new forms of photographic art. Since the 1970s, Nobuyoshi Araki has released sensational works that are still talked about today, such as "Oh Japan" and "Sentimental Journey." His outstanding, sometimes radical nudes and warm-hearted snapshots have captivated photography fans around the world, and he has published as many as 400 photo books to date. This book is a collection of works published in 1982. It is a collection of portraits based on the heroine "Mitori" from Higuchi Ichiyo's novel "Takekurabe," set in the Yoshiwara red-light district, and is modeled after a woman working in a Yoshiwara sex shop. Although the model is a sex worker, there is no nudity. At the time, Araki made a manifesto declaration of "Don't make people naked, make them naked," and this "Nude of the Heart" depicts the empty and fleeting feelings of women through their daily lives. Reprinted in 1987 (with a different binding from the first edition and text included at the end of the book). Signed by the photographer .
